- Ever opened a can of Guinness and noticed a strange rattling sound when you shake it? There's a foreign object in there. But, it has a purpose.

I'm no chemist, but there's still CO2 in Guiness, but instead of adding extra like in almost all other beers they pump in some nitrogen into the can before sealing it. The nitrogen then makes its way into the ball, and when the can is opened it is released, agitating the CO2 in the beer, causing it to fizz.
I'm an Ambassador for Guinness. You're partly right, and this is the only part of the video they get wrong. There is a mixture of 75% N2 & 25% CO2 in the beer. During the canning process, a dose of liquid N2 is shot into the can, and then it's sealed. The liquid evaporates, causing pressure in the can and forcing a mixture of gas & beer into the Widget. When the can is cracked open, the Widget releases that mixture, and through friction, the gas (both N2 & CO2) are broken out of suspension in the beer.
Well, that and you're supposed to pour slowly down the side of the glass at a 45 degree angle so you don't get a bunch of ambient air bubbles like in the video. Smooth, slow pour.
@@jimmycallahan I'm so happy to see ambassadors for companies like yours replying to videos and comments like that. Very appreciated.
i think that ball is the reason why guinness cans are 44 cl instead of 50 cl.
You mean 440 ml, instead of 500ml. Uncultured swine.
(sarcasm)
They’re 530ml
i thought it is to make the can look bigger than the other 33 cl cans.
How do you get that beer stuck in the ball out? They are ripping us off!
500ml cans of Guinness have a widget.
Worst pour of all time
I play ping pong with them.
Beer pong
that ball was steeling my Guinness!!!
i cut can open and succ the ball.
Interesting video but shows those that recorded it have no idea how to pour Guinness into a glass as they looked shocking!
Looked brutal Jesus how can someone butcher pouring a pint so badly
The technique in this video is the best way to pour a Guinness. The can has to be cold too. You end up with a nice creamy pint.
@@thornhillplumbing you’d be hard to find any Guinness drinker in Ireland that would find that pour acceptable. You don’t pour a full can in quickly to the glass as it needs to be done slowly and after about 70% full you leave it settle for a while before pouring the remainder. A good Guinness requires patience!
@@philiporeillycork guess it's down to personal preference. I find your way doesn't give a smooth enough pint.
I used to do it your way until my 4 year old daughter pored me a pint by pouring straight into the glass quickly and I was surprised how good it tasted!
plastic ball ? fuggedaboutit I rather drink from the bottle
background music ???
Well, shit! Now I want a pint of Guinness... Best ad ever!
I sure as hell didn't see a creamy head anyway
Now i can die in peace
Stout in cans SUCK!
FLATTEST BEER YOU CAN DRINK
Does the plastic ball make recycling the cans a problem? Should we cut open the cans to remove the balls before recycling? Inquiring minds want to know!
I'm guessing the recycling instructions are probably somewhere on the can.
Btw, you can easily break an empty aluminum can by crushing the middle until it's flat, bend the ends back and forth, then twist the top and bottom in opposite directions.
Now you have a sharp piece of metal.
not a human on earth that doesnt know that, : ]
Yay! my favorite!

very clever.. and delicious!
Mind blown.
I wondered so I cut open the can. Sadly it was long since expired so I still haven’t had the chance to drink any. I forgot I’d bought it to try.
you can drink it up to two years past the expiry date if it was refrigerated.
Can someone please tell ye kids how to poor a proper pint 😕 absolutely dreadful ye havnt even tasted a pint in Ireland
Germans do it better lad
it's a very good cat toy
Is this still available ? Cuz now I wanna try it
Arab Beast It certainly is. Just scared the shit out of me / thought it was like the golden ticket of Guinness and that I was going to get into the factory sort of thing.
David Whelan Wouldn't that be a dream come true
Still available just got a pack of four
Why dont you just go visit the guinness factory in Dublin Ireland, look it up
Widgets are common in British canned brews. The next most common other than Guinness is John Smiths of Tadcaster. I don't drink either. If i had the choice I'd definitely go for John Smiths, it has a much milder taste and aroma compared to Guinness. This is just my personal opinion. I could enjoy both if i were offered either of them. But i prefer flat ales :)
Only a twat would pour a Guinness like that!
So I just tried a can of guinness draught and it was great but at almost the end of my fabulous drink there was a rattle in the can and it freak me out so bad I just started spitting out everything I didn't know what it was lol I thought it was a mouse so I cut open the can to my chagrin it was a white ball... I then went online to see if this was a mistake but now I know it was supposed to be there lol thank goodness....
I am drinking Guinness while wathcing this
I stabbed the can open to get at the ball and Guinness squirted all over my face and ruined my mams carpet.
Thought it was for beer pong
my god, what the hell was that pint at the start
anyone else watch this with a guinness in hand? lmao
I wonder if Guinness is what Don Ho was singing about all those years?
Tiiiny bubbles 🎶🎵
Why does Guinness's suck so bad in America
Terrible pour
Choose .. or deposit ... or plastic ball
I just threw a can of beer away because I thought the ball was a production mistake.
i almost did... i'm watching this because i panicked and thought my beer was poisoned or something lmao
Ahahaha fortunately a friend of mine told me when I was pouring my beer in the glass. At first sight (and noise) it was weird
0:46 - That's what she said
M trying first tym..cheerssss
Is nobody going to mention how shit that guinness pour was? Get in the bin.
That's what I tried today and I'm right that it taste very smooth but it's strange to put ball inside the can of beer tho
You realise the tops of cans are made for a can opener? It opens them perfectly and smoothly, try it and you'll see I'm right.
FOURTH..
not the first
First
Third
Im second .~.
Its all bull crap! Think about how much money they save without that extra few ounces. A twelve pack of beer is really 11. SMH!
Can the balls plastics leach into the beer making it more toxic than it already is?
wtf are you talking about?
@@NANA4bacon there inside the can, to "mix" it up when you shake it a little, supposed to be in every can or bottle,,,,
@Smash I know, but this contains a "plastic ball" or "spear" I broke a bottle open, and there it was, I drink it all time, it's like soup, when it's served at room temp..just wondering what that ball is made of?
I will never buy these again. It didn’t say there was a ball in the can. Caused me a bit of stress, to say the least. And the beer is boring!
